Infinite Monkeys
If only Bob Dole showed such vigor when he was pushed out by the Republican Party to strangle the Clinton dynasty in toddlerhood. Dole was so angered by Scott McClellan's book-deal betrayal of President Bush and his country, that he fired off a nasty letter via email to the former White House spokesman:
"There are miserable creatures like you in every administration who don’t have the guts to speak up or quit if there are disagreements with the boss or colleagues," Dole wrote in a message sent yesterday morning. "No, your type soaks up the benefits of power, revels in the limelight for years, then quits and, spurred on by greed, cashes in with a scathing critique."
I said much the same thing — though a bit gentler — in a previous post. And why does Dole go all Braveheart on Scott's ass? He explains here:
Bottom line is that I have little respect for turncoats like McClellan who have it both ways. Some in public (and private) life have no shame when big bucks are involved. If their motive is 'good government,' O.K. but that's rarely the case."
Scott emerged from his back-slapping liberal media tour to respond:
"I am speaking up. I have had time to reflect and go back, and what I’m saying is sincere. ... I have a lot of respect for Sen. Dole."
Even when Scott flacks for himself, he delivers cold liver. Typical.
Score this one for the old codger.
